Planning a chimney cap replacement in Beverly Heights
Spark arrestor mesh and its opening size
Where a spark arrestor screen is fitted to a masonry chimney, the Florida Building Code limits the size of its openings in both directions. The mesh must be fine enough to stop embers and open enough not to choke the flue with soot.
That is why screen choice is not only about keeping animals out. A mesh that is too fine can clog and hold smoke back, while one that is too open can let larger embers through. We choose a screen that meets the code and suits how you use the fireplace. The estimate states the screen type so you can see what was chosen.
How the inspection discount applies to cap work
The offer is tied to one date, the day of your own free inspection. Whatever you approve from the estimate in the 72 hours that follow gets a 10% discount. No flyer or calendar date changes that.
The discount applies to the cap and to other items on the same estimate, such as tile or crown repair, if you approve them in the window. Nothing runs down on a clock, and nobody will press you to decide on the spot. If you need longer to think, the estimate still stands at its written price. You choose the timing that suits you.
Questions worth asking about a cap proposal
A few questions sort a clear cap proposal from a vague one. Ask what the cap is made of and what the fasteners are. Ask whether it clamps to the tile, bands around the brick or fastens to the crown. Ask how it comes off for cleaning.
Then ask what the cap does not fix. A good answer names the crown, the flashing and the masonry as separate parts that may need their own attention. We are happy to answer those questions about our own proposal. The answers should be written down, not only spoken on the roof.
Papers that help with a cap job
Old invoices, inspection notes and chimney paperwork can explain what is on the roof. They may show that a liner was added, a cap was replaced or a crown was patched. For a factory-built chimney, the installation manual and the label tell us which cap is listed.
Gather what you have, but do not worry if there is nothing. A document describing a past repair does not prove the repair is still sound, so we check it in place anyway. The papers simply help us understand the chimney faster and avoid ordering the wrong cap for it.

Chimney cap FAQs for homes in Beverly Heights
Which metal should my new chimney cap be made of?
That depends on the flue, the appliance and the exposure at your home. We name the metal on the estimate and explain the choice. Galvanized, stainless and copper caps each weather in their own way, and none of them is free of upkeep.
What should I mention when I call about a cap?
Describe what you see from the ground, how the fireplace is used and whether anything else vents through the chimney. Mention recent roof work or strong storms. Those details help us plan the visit to your home in Beverly Heights.
Are chimney caps covered by a warranty?
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation we carry out. The cap itself may carry its maker's own terms, and we pass those details on with the written record of the work.
